I have been having trouble with my internet connection for sometime and figured that it was time for me to upgrade my internet speed with the cable company. I have a wireless printer and since I have been getting an intermittent signal, my printer will not stay connected and makes scanning / printing almost impossible. If my signal were to break while trying to scan, so would my scanning process…ugh! I finally called my cable company and called them out to check out my connection. Here’s the great part: my modem was old and outdated. No that is not great, but I was given a new up to date modem and now my internet flies again.
Granted, I wish that my cable company would have notified me of the company wide upgrade so that I could have done this a year or so back when the upgrade first went in affect. The technician said that my modem was going straight to the graveyard so I had her check to make sure that my DVR was also the newest system in place. So, thinking back, when was the last time you received a new cable modem from your company? Give them a call, maybe they can boost your speed with a free upgraded internet modem.
Good Luck, we all have a need for internet speed!
Maybe that’s what I need to do. I’m not sure if it’s my dinosaur of a computer that’s making me so slow or the modem or the service. But now that I’ve read this, I’m going to call the cable company tomorrow and see if I’m due for an upgraded modem myself.
I hope you need the modem upgrade. That “fix” was so easy, I wish I had known to call sooner:) Good luck!
